The Senior Special Assistant to Governor Ifeanyi Okowa on Health Monitoring and Coordinator of the Delta State Health Monitoring Team, Dr. Michael Nwoko has said that the victory of Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori in the just concluded Gubernatorial election would help in consolidating on the gains of the present administration of Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa.
He made this projection while speaking on a live Television programme “Morning Ride” with the Delta Broadcasting Service, DBS Asaba, today Wednesday 22nd March, 2023.
The SSA congratulated the Delta State Governor-elect, Rt. Hon Sheriff Oborevwori, Delta North Senotor-elect, Prince Ned Nwoko and other PDP candidates who won in the 2023 general elections, maintaining that PDP put up a good fight and deserves the victories that it got.
While still basking in the euphoria that Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori remains the best candidate to have won the election, he commended the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC for their impartial disposition in the conduct of the Governorship/House Of Assembly Election in the State.
Dr. Nwoko further observed that some of the lapses witnessed during the Presidential/National Assembly elections were avoidable and advised the electoral umpire to work hard to bring back the confidence of Nigerians in the country’s electoral system.
He however, commended the electoral umpire for improving on the conduct of the Governorship/House of Assembly elections, harping on the need for credible, transparent, free and fair elections going forward.
On the issues of litigations arising from the elections, Dr. Nwoko advised the Judiciary to be transparent and uphold its dignity through out the upcoming court proceedings and respect the will of the people.
While thanking the electorate for believing in PDP and voting her candidates in the State, he urged political parties and their candidates who lost to extend their hands of fellowship to the Governor-Elect as their own show of solidarity and support to the growth of peace in the State.
